<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues, may I draw your attention
to the 2nd conference on Language contact in the
circumpolar world with a special session on Typology of
linguistic areas (Institute of Linguistics RAS, Moscow,
Russia; 25-27 October 2019).
<div><a

<br>
The circumpolar world includes the Arctic as defined
by AMAP (Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program)
with adjacent areas. This vast territory has a number
of common features that set it apart from any other
part of the world: extremely harsh climate conditions,
low population density, large distances between
speakers of different languages or even of the same
language, seasonal migrations for hundreds of miles,
prevalence of hunter-gatherers with absolutely no
traditional farming, etc. While language contact has
been a popular topic of linguistic research in the
last couple of decades, there have been few studies
that would concentrate on the circumpolar region and
specifics of language contact in the area.<br>
<br>
The ‘Language contact in the circumpolar world’
conference will bring together researchers studying
language contact in the North, and discussions of any
aspect of the topic are welcome. Of particular
importance is the question of whether language contact
in the circumpolar world is different from that of
other areas, and if so, in which particular respects.<br>
<br>
This is the second conference in this series, the
first having taken place at the Institute of
Linguistics in Moscow in October 2017 (see <a
href="http://iling-ran.ru/main/conferences/2017_circumpolar"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">http://iling-ran.ru/main/conferences/2017_circumpolar</a>
for more details). The first conference collected
several dozens of researchers working on a variety of
topics, including linguistic history/prehistory in the
north and the methods used to reconstruct it,
structural phenomena in specific languages influenced
by contact, language varieties formed by intense
contacts (pidgins, argots, non-standard varieties of
Russian, etc.), areal linguistics, sociolinguistic
aspects of language contact and case studies of
specific language ecologies, language shift and
language attrition, etc. The exchange of ideas showed
so fruitful that we have decided to make this
conference regular, with bi-annual meetings.<br>
<br>
Apart from the general session devoted exclusively to
the North, this 2nd conference will feature a special
session ‘Typology of linguistic areas’ whose aim is to
discuss possible methodologies and successful attempts
to generalize over linguistic areas in any part of the
world. How can different linguistic areas be compared,
in general and as regards peculiarities of the
language contact? What are the ways of describing
linguistic areas that would facilitate their
subsequent comparison? How can language contact in one
area, e.g. in the Arctic, be contrasted to language
contact in other parts of the world? These are
examples of the issues we would like to discuss at
this special session.<br>
<br>
We welcome abstracts both for this special session or
for the general session. For the general session we
invite abstracts on any topic pertaining to language
contact in the circumpolar region, including but not
limited to:<br>
<br>
- language change conditioned by language
contact,<br>
- mixed languages,<br>
- linguistic areas or Sprachbund’s,<br>
- reconstructing the past through linguistic
data,<br>
- patterns of traditional or modern
multilingualism,<br>
- sociolinguistic details of modern or historic
language contact,<br>
- northern varieties of larger languages that
are not restricted to the region (e.g. dialects of
Russian, Swedish, English, etc.),<br>
- cartography of language contact areas,<br>
- methodology of language contact studies which
takes into account specific features of the region.<br>
<br>
The deadline for abstract submission is June 1, 2019.
Notifications of acceptance or non-acceptance will be
sent via email by the end of June. Please submit an
anonymous abstract of no more than 1 page (excluding
references) by email to <a

include a title, authors, and affiliations in your
email; indicate whether your abstract is intended for

of linguistic areas’.<br>
